I have a very cramped, very full two bedroom place that I need to pack up and clean (tenant so will have a inspection)

My question is... Where on earth do you start?! What do you pack first? (We have a need / use for most items we have squeezed into place at the moment!)

I have a small baby at home and my partner works all day - so i feel that im just chasing my tail every day and that's without doing any packing 😳

For our last move, I packed ornaments and books first, packed half of the kitchen stuff- we made do with a plate each and just one saucepan and frying pan.
Pack a suitcase each for clothes that you’ll need between now and the move and put all the rest in boxes. Same with sheets and towels.
If it’s your own furniture,we dismantled and we emptied a room at a time and cleaned it. We also decluttered a lot. If you find it cramped now, you’ve got too much stuff.
How soon is the move?

Thanks!

2 weeks away, but we can start moving stuff once our house is decorated.

It's cramped because there's too many of us here, it's a tiny flat with us plus pets. I'm quite ruthless with clutter - I hate it.

I'm hoping to get the unused baby room packed up first, but furthermore to that dunno what I'll do lol
